Artists Blaze the Way Into Creative Old Age, via Missouri Arts Council
In this essay from 2014, Barbara MacRobie, Missouri Arts Council’s Public Information Coordinator, shared profiles of a few Missouri artists who are aging creatively. Master old-time fiddler Cliff Bryan (b. 1927; d. 2017) told MacRobie about his lifetime of fiddling.
Mr. Bryan has helped many young people carry on the tradition of Missouri short-bow fiddling, including Jessica Collins, shown here laughing with Mr. Bryan during a lesson in 2003. Photo Credit: Howard Marshall
